31/01/2017 The One Show

Hello and welcome to The One Show with Matt Baker...

which may just give you a clue about tonight's guests.

Yes, there's the first Red Nose Day red nose.

And there's the man behind the noses - Richard Curtis.

And the man who picks the noses, Sir Lenny Henry!

This is the launch day of Comic Relief 2017. Still supporting your

nose. You have the whole team of noses. We have some new noses.

They're used to cut your nose off. This is Doctor nose.

It is a bit pun-tastic. We have a surprise for you. There is a red

thing here. A special nose. There's only one macro of them. You are

going to like it. It is me! It has unrealistically bright teeth.

Everything about it is you. All of these noses to come with a certain

boys, don't they? We are doing a fantastic, believe -- Comic Relief

adventure. You can participate online. You get to vote on the

ending. Stephen Hawking is one of the voices. Harry Hill is in it. All

kinds of people in it. They have all given their time and done this

thing. It is a lot of fun and is funny that you get to vote in the

end for that it is brilliant. Where do you get them from? Sainsbury's.

Oxfam. You can get them online. On the website as well. There is an

extra twist. You'd think there are only nine noses but, no. Hallelujah!

There is a tenth nose. It is called Frankie Nose. If you get it, it is

very extraordinary. It is like a golden ticket. We will talk more

later. I will say one more thing. When you

buy a nose, you could be saving someone's life. We have seen

children in serious trouble. For 50p, there could be an injection to

save their lives. I all nine. Get involved. That would be fantastic.

Richard's good friend Hugh Grant has, over the last few years,

become one of the main voices of Hacked Off - a campaign ignited

by the illegal hacking of phones by journalists.

But what if the journalists are the ones being hacked by the police?

Here's Lucy, uncovering a story of whistleblowers,

snooping and legal battles - all of which came to

Darlington. The newsroom of the Northern Echo newspaper. Journalist

Julia and James get a tip-off alleging racism within the local

police force. The latter I had an anonymous phone call from an officer

who told me a report had appealed their worst elements of

institutional racism in Cleveland Police. Cleveland Police have had no

end of stories about corruption among senior staff, resulting in the

sacking of the then Chief Constable and deputy. It is endless. The

journalist did not reveal their sources. The whistle-blower names

have become public. The decision to talk to the press have had

consequences going far beyond anything they could have imagined.

Both were serving Cleveland Police officers. Mark was acting inspector.

Steve Mafi is headed the Police Federation. Both have now left the

force. What was going on in the force that if Asian officers claimed

-- complained about discrimination, they became a target. A report

concluded there was institutional racism. I was worried that would get

buried. And Assistant Chief Constable assured the media there

was no racism in the force. Mark leaked the existence of the report

to the newspaper. The journalists contacted you for confirmation? She

did. She asked if I knew the existence of this report, which I

could not discuss because it was confidential. Did you receive

payment from the Northern Echo? No. The force was furious about the

leak. Mark admitted calling the paper and was suspended. The police

professional standards department began hunting down anyone else

involved and how did they do that? The police turned to the regulation

of an act that gives powers for serious crime and terrorism. Police

used those powers to go through the personal phone records of offices

and reporters. It was two years before Andy Richardson found out via

another tip of what they had been up to. Element I could not believe what

we heard. They were looking up calls throughout the entire operation.

This is the Northern Echo switchboard, where readers make

their first contact with the paper, possibly to call me, the editor, or

maybe someone has had a brief man. Police sifted through those records.

It was a terrible intrusion to proceed. The reporters were targeted

as well. A free press is very important to me democracy. It is an

important part of journalism. The fear is that contacts. Getting in

touch with you if they think they will be monitored. Personal phone

records were accessed to check everyone they had spoken to. I have

children. Mark has a daughter. We know they have been prying into

phone records, contacts we have had with families. That is disgusting.

My police career has been destroyed and all for nothing, to protect

their reputation. The complaint led to an investigatory Powers Tribunal.

Today that tribunal delivered its findings will do it was made clear

that what the force had done was unlawful. The tribunal determined

the use of the powers to access the phone records should not have been

authorised. It is waiting to hear what the force intends to do to

remedy the situation. Although Cleveland Police initially denied

any wrongdoing, they did apologise for monitoring the phones of the two

journalists. The police and crime commission for Cleveland now says

they are looking to make changes. What are you going to do to make

sure this does not happen again? We have agreed to review similar cases

over the last six years. The important thing going forward as we

establish a new professional standards department, bringing

someone in independently to advise on that. Copies of the judgment have

been sent to Her Majesty 's Chief Inspector of the constabulary and

the complaints commission. The whole thing leaves a bitter taste in the

mouth of those affected. It goes to a deeper issue that we do not want

to live in a police state. This kind of intrusion is really damaging.

Thank you. Talking about last Red Nose Day, you reached

a remarkable milestone. My pleasure to announce the total

raised in Comic Relief since we started is over ?1 billion. It is...

Just seeing those figures. You can actually see that number. For a long

time your focus was on that billion. Now you have achieved it, you must

reassess sure goals a little bit. You are obsessed by the big figures.

You want to reach a billion. You also know how important little bits

of money. I look at that billion and I think, we have spent I think it is

two point something million in Suffolk and we have spent ten quid

buying someone here food. We spent money on a domestic violence

helpline. We spent money here and there. It breaks down into

individual lives, people in trouble with hard lives. The billion is

great. We must concentrate on every little bit. We can do that now for a

few years until then hands over his immense fortune. That is the plan

for the night. I did not know my personal finances would be involved.

The idea that the British public will now roll up their sleeves and

go, now what? Every 50p is valuable. It means a great deal. This Red Nose

Day, what will you be doing? It will be busy, won't it? It is a return to

the roots. There will be a lot of comedians involved. We have people

like Sir Lenny Henry, that's me. Warwick Davis. Jonathan Ross. Greg

Davis. Vic and Bob will be messing around. Graham Norton has the

largest couch ever seen in the world. French and Saunders are back.

Mrs Brown is there on the night. What is the idea for this one? Who

knows? A little bit chaotic. A bit like when Lenny started. Some very

funny pre-recorded things as well. Some very unexpected secrets. We

cannot talk about it because we are embargoed. Then there is a bit of

kerfuffle and a bit of competition about who will go to Africa. To

prove this point, we have this moment. I am smithy. I am going to

Africa. Biggest load of rubbish I have ever heard. What? You can't go.

Echoes not famous? No, people do not like tabbies in Africa. The only

person around this table who can go is me. My music has touched millions

of people around the world and I am the last remaining beetle. What

about me? I am one of the last remaining Beatles. You have got Ed

Sheeran going to Africa. He has been to Liberia. I have seen the edits of

the filming he has done. He went out there with a new attitude. It is

really interesting. He really focused on the positivity of it and

then was really close. Did a little singing competition with the girls

and then was shocked by some of the things he saw. He has given some of

his own money to help the people he saw that night. It is interesting to

see the new generation. His first ever gig was for Comic Relief.

Talking about getting to the heart of the communities, on Monday will

be doing our first link up. Doing outside broadcast with the team

travelling from Kenya. Delivering goods that people have raised money

for and taking them to the projects that matter. Katy Brand, David

Baddiel. A fine group of people. The hub as well is actually going to be

at the O2. You're going big with this. We are going big. The whole

night will come from building number six. Building number six at the O2.

It is a place we have never broadcast from before. It will be an

extraordinary night. We have never seen this venue on television

before. 24th of March, isn't it? You have a lot of time. A lot of

T-shirts to buy. You are rocking them! A few things to say. We should

send a convoy around the whole of the UK. Nowhere in the UK is 30

miles from one of our projects. We help the old people and the young

people in trouble with drugs and alcohol, people with mental health

issues. That is incredibly important. How do you do it? By

organising a fundraising event if you can. If you can... Be stuck my

son's dashes at my son to the wall with gaffer tape. We sent the

picture to the godparents. Someone sat in a bath full of baked beans

and had a meeting. The message is, do what you can. Do what you can and

support. Here at the One Show we're

big fans of recycling. So much so, we're recycling an idea

for a film we showed But that's only because there

are so many stories UK households now recycle more waste

than they throw away. Near Belfast, the amount of domestic waste coming

to recycling centres has gone up by 12% in the last three years. This is

the city's busiest centre. Every day up to 1,000 cars and vans drive in

to drop off all the stuff people no longer need. Behind every discarded

item, there is always aye human tale. -- a human tale. Meet Paul

Moony, who you could say has a trophy wife. The wife years ago, she

used to do kick boxing. They're trophies that she won. I think she

attained up to black belt. At the time her life was all about that.

Life moves on. Obviously things that you thought were important years

ago, maybe as important now. If she says to keep them, keep them. If she

says throw them out, they will be thrown out. Some people seem to

discard things without too much heartache. You'd be surprised what

people throw out. Set of golf clubs. For others there are things being

brought here that once would have been unthinkable to lose. My dad's

downsizing. We're just trying to get rid of quite a lot of stuff. We're

moving house ourselves soon. I guess it's just starting afresh really.

Starting a anew after a lifetime the memories might be difficult for some

people. My wife died just over a year ago. My children are 22 and 24.

It's unlikely in Do check what your options are. We

were talking during that film. About 18 months ago you launched a project

which is all about sustainability. It is. Sustainable development

goals. The last generation was threatened by climate change.

Everybody can do both big things, asking politicians to change the

world. Everybody can do small things about where they get their clothes

from, where they buy their food, how they recycle. All that kind of

stuff. That is how the world changes. It changes macro and micro.

Your approach to this, you have worked very closely with art and

animations. We have a clip. We have a plan, the global goals for

people and planet. To end poverty, to fight inequality. And to defeat

climate change. And I am proud to announce the plan is agreed by

everyone. MUSIC

APPLAUSE We liked your animal act so much,

that we actually found a trainer who trains amazing animals. Look at him

here. Guess what his name is? It's not Richard Curtis. Whenever I

Google myself that man comes up. I'm so sorry. He signed a piece of

paper. Richard. Oh, I'm so sorry. Esaid, I will not swear on the One

Show. Richard dogs are a very talented bunch. It's all kicking off

now. Are you listening. We're going into a game here. You need to hear

the rules. We want to you play. Richard's dogs are talented. We've

asked them to recreate some scenes from Richard Curtis' films. You have

to guess what they are. Love Actually. That's the man,

amazing. That's genius. APPLAUSE

Have you seen it? Next one. Let's have a look.

Very quickly, can we play the second one. I don't think you've ever seen

my films. I love this one. # All by myself... It's Bridget

Jones, right? # Don't want to be

# All by myself# That's animal cruelty. Thank you for

calling, goodbye. That dog is good. She's cute. We

have to say thank you to the other Richard Curtis who did this. Well

done. So lovely to meet. I love the other Richard Curtis. I love the

other Lenny Henry. We have a fum to play -- film to play here now. Is it

on golden pond? For the residents of Tadcaster

in North Yorkshire, it'd be hard to forget December 2015,

when heavy flooding caused its 300-year-old bridge to collapse,

splitting the town in two. Happily, the bridge has been

restored and is about to reopen. When the bridge in Tadcaster fell,

it wasn't just the road that was split in two, it was the whole

community. So at the moment, we're standing on the west side of

Tadcaster bridge. If I wanted to go to the east side, to visit Tad

Kebabs, for instance, I could go on the footbridge. Fay want to drive --

if I want to drive, well, that's tricky.

That is a major faff. What's it been like living with the place separated

like Berlin used to be? It's been terrible. The whole town's suffered.

You go to the doctors here and get your prescription. The chemist is

over that side. What sort of things are you missing out on? We have

family on that side. If we want to go across we have to take the car,

because my wife's disabled. It's 12 miles extra on your journey. Tell me

about the way the bridge has affected your business. Can you put

a percentage on how much down you are compared to maybe over the same

period last year? Rough estimate probably about 25% something like

that. It's quite a youing chunk. -- quite a chunk. It's the passing

trade, they look at the boards outside and think, oh, I'll have a

bit of that. That's the bit we're missing. It can double your petrol

bill quite easy. Many here say a lack of town spirit has helped the

situation. Sam Smith's brewery denied permission to build a

temporary footbridge on their property and opposed plans to widen

the Newbridge. But possibly after the threat of a demonstration, their

objection was retracted. Sam Smith's brewery have blamed Yorkshire County

Council for allowing the original bridge to collapse and stated that

the temporary footbridge would have been a waste of public money and

affect the view of listed buildings. Don't get me started on Humphreys.

We wanted it on the other side, which would have been easier.

Because it's his land, no you can't. The food bridge is where it should

have been, if it had been this side there was no road access. Humphrey

isn't all that bad. I think there could have been -- they could have

been more helpful. You can't blame Sam Smith's for everything. Some of

it is beyond their control. The access is down to the

Government/North Yorkshire. We can't put a road bridge in without

spending a lot of money. The cost of that to the town goes way beyond the

cost of repair. We're talks tens of millions that's lost in local trade,

damage, you know, it's gone on a long time and people are getting

understandably very frustrated. The people I've spoken to, some of them

are concerned about the amount of time it's taken. Are they justified?

I think that's fair, yeah. I would certainly be complaining. We had

problems with river level issues. We ran into very cold temperatures in

January. Then we've been forever chasing our tails really. In

addition to actually repairing the bridge, we decide today was an

appropriate opportunity to widen it. We've gone through planning and got

permission to widen a listed structure, which wasn't easy. What

do you hope will happen over the next few months, once the bridge is

finally open? We hope the town gets back together, you know, gets as it

was. It were a nice little town. I hope that happens for you. We do.

That bridge is due to open at end of this week or early next. That is

your lot for tonight. We've run out of time. A big thank you
